Yesterday.

• Breakfast with Dennis in Pecos.
• I was pretty convinced that I was not picking up Erin.
• After breakfast, Dennis and I drove up the canyon to Terrarro because we weren’t quite done talking.
• It was a nice drive. 45 minutes or so, round-trip.
• After dropping Dennis off I still wasn’t planning on picking Erin up from Dilia, in fact I was taking pictures. (See other post of today.)
• I remembered an old mining complex just outside of Pecos and I hunted it down, found it and drove right past it to see where the road ended.
• iI took the pictures on the return trip.
• As I was heading to another location, Tori called. She broke out in “hives.” Probably a poisoned rat bite or something.
• I stopped by her house and checked her back and it seemed like she actually had broken out in hives.
• I ended up picking up Erin. Well played Tori.
• No more pictures for my Sunday off.
• Tori decided that she will no longer cook for us and that Nina needs to come home now.
• Pizza or chicken carryout is planned for Monday & Wednesday.
• I’m thinking that I need to buy a new backup drive.
• I had to reformat the drive today to do my weekly backup.
• This had me very nervous last night as I made a backup. Too much can go wrong and I have no backups right now.
• I may buy the Apple wifi station with the built in 3 tb backup drive and let it run backups nightly.

John was late for work. This is not the first time and it’s getting old. This seems to happen mostly when Nina’s gone and it leaves me in a slight bind. I really can’t spend a great amount of time downstairs because someone has to be upstairs in case ML wakes up.

I woke congested today. I hate when this happens.

Right now I’m just sitting here waiting for Diana to come and watch over ML for the day. I’m also trying to decide if I will pick up Erin or if I make Tori do the dirty deed. She hates seeing Will and I really don’t care. Tori tells me that they are afraid of me, but I can’t figure out why. I treat them all nicely.

I am going to have breakfast out still, even though Nina’s not here. Can’t break a good habit, right?

One of the best things about a Sunday drive is discovering that you’re lost.

Sitting in the gravel this morning while working on my Jeep is not conducive to good ass health. I took the spacers off to see if I could run without them. The answer is no. That means I had to put them back on after the test. Twice the ass to gravel contact. Bummer.

I have decided that I like getting dressed with the lights on. When Nina’s home I dress in the dark, or semi-dark actually. I’m considering if Nina will be receptive to me using lights while I dress. It’s for the best Nina.

Dinner last night was at Canella’s Restaurant in Pecos. Tori joined Dennis, Joe, Steven and myself for dinner. We had a nice night out and I think it should happen more often. I had a steak and it was good. It has been a long time since I’ve had one. Dinner got louder once the performer arrived, but that didn’t stop the fun, we just got louder too. The guy is an old cowboy singing old country songs. He’s pretty good, but I still prefer no live entertainment with my dinners. Sorry Tex, but that’s the way it is.

I had lunch with Joe, Steven and one of Steven’s friends at Arrow’s Ridge today . I brought the food, 2 frozen pizzas and we cooked them up there. Spent a couple hours up there and we had a good time.

Joe and I talked of meeting in Ouray to go 4 wheeling together. Virginia and him, and Nina and I. Could be a fun time. We probably  head in different directions from there  with them going north and west and us heading home.

Nina meets with 2 moving companies next week, one on Monday and the other on Tuesday. I’m curious as to the cost. I would be there for the actual move.

The gods that were smiling when you were born are laughing now.

• My parking lot is blowing away.
• This is quite possibly the worst wind I’ve seen since moving here.
• It’s unrelenting.
• Well, the weatherliars predicted this crap and they got it right.

Just talked to Nina.

She’s been working in the condo and even managed to make arrangements to 2 moving companies come in on Monday & Tuesday. Should be interesting at the costs of moving ML’s shit out here.

Joe

Joe loves this new website and the WordPress style of website. He’s been very busy playing with his new toy and has changed the site around from what I turned over to him. Check it out at Arrow’s Ridge. He added a lot of pictures.  Fun shit, eh Joe?

It’s funny but Nina being gone has ML nervous. I wonder if she thinks I’ll kill her or rape her or just plain neglect her. Who knows where that twisted little brain goes when she’s sitting there glaring at the whores on TV.

She asks before bed how long Nina was going to be gone. I told her I didn’t know because Nina bought a 1 way ticket east. “That’s OK with you?” was her response. I told her we have trust and if I can disappear for a week or so, she can too. “Am I the reason she left?” I told her yes, but not for the reason she’s thinking. I told her that Nina was working at HER condo to prepare it for sale, so indirectly it is her fault that Nina’s gone. She went back to glaring at the whores again.

We left before Erin left yesterday. Erin too is upset about Nina leaving and cried when we left. I thought I had our departure timed to their picking Erin up, but once again they flaked on us. I have a feeling that I will have company every night until Nina returns. To Erin, it’s her responsibility to make sure we’re not lonely. She does good at that.

Going up to Arrow’s Ridge to finish up the website for Joe and give him and Steven a lesson on the admin dashboard. After that any of the 3 of us can make changes on the site.

We don’t forgive people because we are weak. We forgive people because we are strong enough to know that we all make mistakes and that it’s not our place to judge them.

But then I’m sure you all suspected that when she married me. I dropped her off at the airport this morning and headed right home, with a stop at Chick-fil-A for lunch. Part way home I called Tori to find out that she busted the gas computer somehow.

OK, Tori didn’t do it, but she didn’t help the situation much by hitting my battery backup with a ball peen hammer.

OK, she didn’t really hit it with a hammer, but she is no electrical engineer. In fact I’m not sure she should be allowed to plug in her hairdryer.

OK, maybe she should be allowed to plug in her hairdryer, but she should stay away from water while using it.

Oh well, the gas computer is back up and running and it really wasn’t Tori’s fault and she did stay on the phone with some non-english speaking off-shore tech advisor that made her want to shoot the handset.
